Cup call for Williams sisters

Venus and Serena set to face Belarus 


Venus and Serena Williams have been named in the USA team for the Fed Cup clash against Belarus in February.

US Fed Cup captain Mary Joe Fernandez has also included Christina McHale and Liezel Huber in her side for the match.

Seven-time grand slam champion Venus has not played in a competitive match since pulling out of the US Open in August last year after being diagnosed with auto-immune disease Sjogren's Syndrome.

For sister Serena, who went out of the Australian Open earlier this week following a fourth-round loss to Ekaterina Makarova, it will be her first Fed Cup appearance in almost five years.

The Belarus team are set to feature world number three Victoria Azarenka.

The match will be held February 4-5 in Worcester, Massachusetts, with the winner progressing to the World Group playoff and a chance to compete for the Fed Cup title in 2013.
